From the Binding Fabric, cut:

Cut 4 strips – 2½” x WOF

Press the seam toward the black triangle – or press it open.

The half-square triangle will measure 3½" x 3½".

Repeat to make 25 sets of 4 matching HSTs.

Making the Quarter-Square Triangles

Cut the 3½" x 3½" squares twice on the diagonal as shown.

Using the same two fabrics – one red and one black – select a total of four triangles, two of each. Lay out the triangles as shown.

Using a scant ¼" seam allowance, join the triangles as shown. Press the seams toward the black triangles – or press them open.

Trim the QST to measure 2½" x 2½".

Repeat to make 25 QSTs.

Making the Flying Geese

On the wrong side of the 300 background squares – 17⁄8" x 17⁄8" – draw a line from one corner to the opposing corner as shown –OR use a stitching guide to stitch the diagonal line.

For one set of four flying geese, select 1 red/black or gold square – 3¼" x 3¼" – and four background squares.

With right sides together, align two background squares in opposite corners of a 3¼" x 3¼" red/black or gold square as shown.

Stitch on both sides of the drawn line using a scant ¼" seam allowance.

Cut the squares apart on the drawn line. Press the seams toward the background – the small triangle.

With right sides together, align the two remaining background squares in the corners of the triangles as shown below.

Stitch on both sides of the drawn line – using a scant ¼" seam allowance.

Cut on the drawn line and press the seams toward the background – the small triangle.

The geese units will measure 1½" x 2½". Repeat to make a total of 75 sets of geese – a total of 300 geese.

• For variety, we cut four extra background squares and made a few extra geese using 6 gold squares, 35 red squares and 35 black squares.

Making the Geese Units

The units are made with sets of three flying geese. Each set is either all red, all black, or a mix of red/gold and black/gold.

Red Geese Units. Select the red geese and about half of the gold geese. Using three geese units in any mix of prints and colors you choose, join the geese as shown.

Press the seams in the direction of the arrows – or press them open.

The geese units will measure 2½" x 3½".

Repeat to make a total of 50 red and red/gold geese units.

Black Geese Units. Repeat to make a total of 50 black and black/gold geese units.

Cut 8 strips – 3½" x 21" WOF. • From the strips, cut a total of 100 strips –

1¼" x 3½". 3

Jo’s Pressing Trick

Do you know Jo’s “clipping trick”? When seams on blocks are pressed in the same direction – as they are here – we recommend clipping one seam so that it can be “flipped” to go the other direction.

Approximately ½” from the edge, use the tip of a pair of sharp scissors to clip the seam right up to the stitching line as shown.

Flip the ½” section of the seam in the opposite direction for stitching.

Quilt Layout Assembly

From the Tan/Natural Prints, cut the following:

Cut at least 21 strips – 2” x 21” WOF.

From the Brown Border-Sashing Print:

To keep the stripes running in the same direction, the first strips are cut parallel to the selvage on the lengthwise grain, not on the crosswise grain.

• Parallel to the selvage, cut 2 strips – 2½" x approx. 45" long for the side borders.

• From the remainder – measuring approx. 34" x 45" – cut the following:

• Cut 2 strips – 7¼" x 34" WOF. From the strips, cut 20 strips – 2"x 7¼". These are the vertical sashing strips.

• Cut 5 strips – 2" x 34" WOF. From the strips, cut 20 strips – 2" x 7¼". These are the horizontal sashing strips.

• Cut 3 strips – 2½" x 34" WOF for the top and bottom borders.

CONSTRUCTIONMaking the Four-Patches

The four-patches are made using 21" WOF strips.

• For more variety with the fabric combinations, the 21" strips can be cut in half to measure 2" x 10½".

Select 1 red strip and 1 tan/natural strip – 2" x 21".

Using a scant ¼" seam allowance, join the strips on the long edge as shown. Press the seam toward the red strip.

Repeat to make 21 strip sets.

Cross-cut the strip sets into segments 2" wide – 2" x 3½".

• 200 assorted segments are required.

Join two segments as shown.Press the seam in one direction.

The four-patch will measure 3½" x 3½".

Repeat to make 100 four-patches.

Making the BlockSelect four four-patch squares, four matching brown strips – 1¼" x 3½", and 1 red square – 1¼" x 1¼".

Lay out the block parts as shown – note the alignment of the red squares.

Using a scant ¼" seam allowance, join the parts to make rows as shown. Press the seams toward the sashing strips – away from the four-patches and center square.

Join the rows to complete the block.

The block will measure 7¼" x 7¼".


FINISHING THE QUILT TOPLay out the blocks in five rows of five blocks each, alternating the blocks with the vertical and horizontal sashing strips, and cornerstones as shown.

Join the parts to make 5 “block” rows and 4 horizontal “sashing” rows. Press the seams toward the sashing rows – away from the blocks and cornerstones.

Join the rows to complete the quilt top. Press the seams toward the sashing rows – away from the block rows. The quilt top will now measure 40¼" x 40¼".

Add BordersTrim the 2 lengthwise-strips cut for the side borders – to measure 40¼" long.

Add the side borders to the sides of the quilt top. Press the seams toward the borders.

Select one the 3 strips cut for the top and bottom borders – 2½" x 34" – and cut it in half.

Using a straight or diagonal seam, join one 2½" x 17" strip to one 2½" x 34" strip. Press the seam open.

Trim the border strip to measure 2½" x 44¼".

Join the top and bottom borders to the top and bottom edges of the quilt top. Press the seams toward the borders.

CONSTRUCTION

Making the Half-Square Triangles

On the wrong side of the 112 cream squares, draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposing corner as shown.

• Or use a seam guide to stitch the diagonal line.

Select one pair of matching cream squares and one pair of matching indigo squares. With right sides together, align the edges of one cream and one indigo square as shown.

Using a scant ¼" seam allowance, stitch on both sides of the drawn line.

Cut the square apart on the drawn line.

Press the seam toward the indigo triangle. The half-square triangle will measure 2¼" x 2¼".

Repeat to make 224 half-square triangles. Sort to make 56 sets of four matching squares.

Making the Broken Dishes Block

Using one set of four matching half-square triangles, lay out the pieces as shown.

Using a scant ¼" seam allowance, join the squares as shown. Press the seams in opposite directions as shown.

Now join the two halves to complete the block. Press the seam in one direction.

The block will measure 4" x 4".


ASSEMBLE THE QUILT TOPLay out the blocks, alternating squares and setting triangles in diagonal rows as shown.

• There are enough setting triangles that laying them out with the directional print going the same direction is possible.

Join the blocks, alternating squares and triangles to make rows as shown. Press the seams in the direction of the alternating squares and setting triangles – away from the blocks.

• The setting triangles have purposely been cut a bit larger than necessary to allow for a little bit of a float, and for trimming the sides straight after quilting.

Join the rows to complete the quilt top. Press the seams in one direction – or use the "clipping trick" and press the seams toward the alternating squares and setting triangles – away from the blocks.

The quilt top will measure a bit larger than 35" x 40".
